Feb 2001

Me in front of a Ham Radio Store in Hong Kong (Sham Shui Po) in Feb 2001

This is where I will put write up my business trip to Hong Kong with a day in Macau:

Sunday – 11-Feb-01

Shot the Washington’s Birthday match and had the high score on our team which took 2nd place club team. I was 5th individual civilian score or so.

Left right from the awards ceremony to the Airport and flew first to LA then to Hong Kong.

Some GSM cell phones can be programmed to announce an incoming SMS with an audible tone, in the airport, I heard several that announced it with … -- … !

Monday 12-Feb-01 – there was no Monday 12-Feb-01 this year.
